FLOATING REAL ESTATE
Covering 71% of the Earth’s surface, water is our planet’s most abundant feature. 90% of the world’s largest cities feature a waterfront or docklands area, located within a short distance of downtown districts, placing water at the heart of urban life, as well as business and economic activity.
As rising sea levels reshape perceptions of above-water property, demand for innovative, well-designed and desirable water-based developments will only grow, driving both future market growth and the value of prime waterfront locations.
Rapid urbanisation, combined with the high density of major cities, means that available land for new developments is increasingly scarce. This has sparked interest in making better use of underutilised water space, especially in central harbour and dockland areas.
City and harbour authorities worldwide are seeking partners to reimagine these spaces, with water-based projects offering strong appeal thanks to their unique experiences, sustainability credentials, and alignment with green urban development goals.
With over two decades of expertise in designing, building, and operating floating hotels, Sunborn International is a pioneer in the floating real estate sector.
Our projects are delivered in partnership with international developers, local stakeholders, and city authorities to create landmark destinations in some of the world’s most iconic waterfronts. We specialise in high-end hospitality experiences, uniting design excellence with premium leisure and corporate amenities. Many of our current developments are already advancing through planning towards realisation.
